Grr... Arg... Hello all,
I'm working on my first Perl/CGI database app and run into a bit of a snag: http://myserver/lseid.cgi?LeaseOPID=A&DT89&theCmd=EditIt this line finds the right data however, everything after the & in the LeaseOPID ($row-{leaseopid}) "A&DT89" gets truncated in this form line: textfield(-name=>'LeaseOPID', -value=>$row->{leaseopid}, -size=>8, -maxlength=>8),p,"\nName: ", I've tried every combination of quotes, ", ' , qw, qq, that I can think of but no luck. Is there any way to do this? I get why it does it, just don't know how to get around it. App works fine with data that doesn't have ampersands in it. :) Please feel free to beat me over the head if I don't make any sense here.
